Chapter 280 - 279: The Strange Man (2 more)
After the idle chit-chat, Jin Yu asked Jin Ruiyang some questions about Ye Xiangtian.
He made a frightening speculation, "Ye Xiangtian may not be as simple as we imagined. I suspect he is not a pawn put forward by Old Master Ye. Instead, it’s likely that Old Master Ye is the front he is using."
Upon hearing this, Jin Ruiyang frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Jin Yu straightforwardly shared the suspicious points he had discovered with Jin Ruiyang, "I did some research on Ye Tianxiang a while ago. Most of the Ye Family’s affairs are basically decided by Ye Tianxiang, while Old Master Ye adheres to a policy of non-involvement. The fact that he was eager to step forward this time could very well be a trick within a trick."
"On the surface, it seems he is trying to protect Ye Xiangtian from being discovered, eager to step forward. Old Master Ye is not someone who makes hasty decisions. Leveraging this line of thought, he tempts us to guess that Old Master Ye is the real power behind the scenes, and Ye Xiangtian is just a pawn. In reality, it’s quite possible that Old Master Ye is actually the pawn Ye Xiangtian put forward."
"Did you find out anything?" Jin Ruiyang asked with a furrowed brow.
Jin Yu solemnly nodded, "The major drug trafficker from the Delta has met with Ye Xiangtian, and his attitude in front of Ye Xiangtian was quite strange."
"Strange?" Jin Ruiyang voiced his confusion.
Jin Yu nodded, "Logically, even if Ye Xiangtian were collaborating with Chi Jin, it should be him currying favor with Chi Jin. You should know, given Chi Jin’s status, he would not stoop to flatter anyone. But in front of Ye Xiangtian, he was actually extremely respectful."
"Are you sure?" Jin Ruiyang exclaimed in shock. How could Chi Jin possibly be extremely respectful towards Ye Xiangtian.
